Quick bets - Right-wing or left-wing?
Suspect dead.

One of two injured U.S. Capitol Police officers has died after being hit by a suspect who then rammed their car into the north barricade of the Capitol complex Friday afternoon before exiting the vehicle with a knife, Acting Chief Yogananda Pittman said at a press conference.
I think that guess is out. But maybe he just wanted to chop some veggies.

I originally was going with right wing because it's on the East Coast.

Now that we know it's a black Muslim that didn't have an "assault rifle" he just bought, this will probably exit the news cycle pretty quickly.

Muslims are conservatives, too.

Some dude from NC claims to have a bomb near the Capitol, or something
The man was identified as Floyd Ray Roseberry, 49, of Grover, North Carolina, according to two people briefed on the matter.
Town I've never heard of. Q-anon follower gone wrong?
While police continued negotiations, video surfaced of Roseberry on Facebook Live inside the truck, which was stuffed with coins and boxes. He was threatening explosions, making anti-government threats and talking about what he believes are the ills of the country, including the U.S. position on Afghanistan, health care and the military.

He said Democrats needed to step down, then also said he loved the president, Democrat Joe Biden. Facebook removed the videos a few hours after they were apparently filmed. Roseberry did not appear to have a specific demand for law enforcement other than to speak with Biden.
Maybe just crazy.

But also Biden? Weird.

By the way, MAGA energy drinks would be a great idea.

He does not love Biden according to his actual message and posts. I think he was misquoted, or misunderstood. But I'm not going to listen to all his batshitcraziness to find out.

I mean, not everything he said is wrong. He ripped Greta Thunberg and Facebook... :D

Seriously though, guys like him are going to become a lot more common.

The people who STORMED THE CAPITAL did so because they felt strongly that the election was compromised, and the government was corrupt.

I doubt any of them have had their minds changed by getting hunted down by the administration they don't feel is legitimate. Making an example of them is putting the image in many people who weren't even there that maybe the mostly peaceful insurrectionists had a point.

I'm not making a statement about whether they are right or wrong, I'm agreeing with the previous statement predicting this stuff is going to get worse.

I wonder. Publicly a lot of them have admitted they were stupid and wrong.

My understanding is, that gets you leniency at sentencing.

I don't think you're allowed to use the "mostly peaceful" (trademark CNN) when discussing straight white men...

A lot have, yes, although how many have about Qanon vs supporting Trump? I think those are two very different things.

Also, admitting you were a sucker to believe Trump's lies about the election doesn't mean you also no longer feel minimized by the very vocal people on the extreme left who blame you for every bad thing that has ever happened anywhere.
